Zoggy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Do you have any no claims bonus? - On your cheapest quote try reducing your miles to 5000 a year, and third party fire and theft,worked wonders for my quote, also select social only! - As long as you have no convictions it should be cheap, and even more so if you have NC bonus? Merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ecc Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Third Party, FIre and Theft on a 59 Plate Car.... No thanks! Also stretching the truth about your milage and what you use the car for can land you in hot water should you need to claim! Just keep shopping around, I'm 20 and managed to get mine fully comp for £800 with one year no claim; Im exstattic with this price seeing as my 1.2 2002 Corsa was £2000 to insure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smett72 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Just had my renewal through for my car £650 Best quote so far £580. How much??? Just renewed with FordInsure, fully comp, 9+ years NCB, parked off road, I'm single (which doesn't help insurance), no points and 38. Was paying £282.31 last year and gone up just less than £30 to £312.35. All in all, considering how much other people are moaning about their insurance going up I'm not displeased with a 10% rise, even if this is quite a bit above inflation!

Mine was £400 with protected no claims and a nil excess - the protected no claims premium has pushed the price up the last two years because of 2 repairs under insurance. I'm 42, live on the outskirts of Edinburgh and car is parked in a parking space. Is it the speeding points that have pushed the price up?

StemmePilot Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Speaking as someone with connections to the insurance world if your premium has gone up it might be nothing more than a change in the underwriting attitude of your insurer. The fact is that the motor insurance market is in a right old mess at the moment and contrary to what everyone thinks hardly any insurers are making any profit out of it. Quite a few insurers have given up hope of ever making a profit and stopped writing motor insurance. Consider the following: - aggregators (Compare the Merecat, Money Supermarket etc) driving prices down - credit-hire costs driving claims up (those people that sort you out a hire car at huge cost to the "fault" insurer) - injury costs have increased massively. The vast majority is whiplash and the vast proportion of these are exaggerated or made up - fraud, crash for cash and the like - insurers used to subsidise underwriting losses from investment income. Now there is no investment income to subsidise the losses from According to a recent survey of insurers the UK personal motor market is set to remain unprofitable until at least 2015. Now, I don't expect anyone has the least sympathy with the insurers but some chickens are coming home to roost. All the credit hire costs and fraudulent and exaggerated claims have to be paid for in the end and some insurers are no longer willing to write motor business for a loss. So, while the adverts tell us that our premiums can only ever go down the reality is there will be fewer motor insurers around and most of us are about to see our premiums go up. A lot. Do shop around, the aggregators and direct insurers are useful if you are a "standard" risk, if you are "non standard" (convictions, modifications, young/inexperienced driver and the like) your best best is probably to use a broker instead. But either way I think for most of us a 10% increase in premium will be the best we can hope for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparticus5 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 FordInsure provided me with the best cover -v- price. Fiesta 1.6 petrol, 2010 brand new, 9000 miles per year, living in village a few miles outside city in Central Scotland, age 44, max ncd, clean driving record, fully comp, ncd protected (declined their additional legal cover tho), Mr Average when it comes to job, home owner etc. Price quoted £244. But... Check out the offers on Money Back websites as well as comparison websites. TopCashBack were offering £50 off when I purchased my insurance thru FordInsure (they now offer £55 cashback!!! ). So effectively I paid £194. B) If you didn't know about these moneyback websites before, you do now. Certainly worth checking the deals on offer. I've found that Topcashback, Quidco are the best, but there may be others I don't know about. It pays to shop around. Good hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't seem right? Even when I was 18 (only 3 years ago) with a '97 1.4 Fiesta Zetec it was 'only' £1,500.
